“Removed by Reddit” implies admin action though.

…or maybe they just don’t want a busy looking logo.

They also assert that Bluesky doesn’t federate (it currently doesn’t, but the protocol is designed for federation!) when it’s clear that it now does.

I’m not surprised about the skepticism there though. These are just promises, and we all know that a for-profit entity will happily sacrifice any promies if it means they make more money that way. Also depending on how exactly that federation will work it might be practically useless as well.

Why not judge these instances on their own merit though? If what you say becomes true and is so problematic and rampant that it needs addressing, you can block that instance. But doing so preemptively seems petty and counterproductive at best.

What if there is an instance that selectively reposts from Threads only decent, thoughtful discussions?

Oh and as a side note; if you’re worried about stuff getting more mainstream, toxic and polarized that’s kinda inevitable if you want more people using the fediverse, that’s just how it is when lots of differently thinking people are in one place.

Ahh interesting. Well, that’s growing pains, and fairly minor ones I’d say. Let’s hope it’ll eventually get better.

Also thanks for explaining “subscribe pending”, I was wondering about that.

I dunno, paying less than $10 is more than enough, definitely more than you could make from ads per person. And the reality is that not many people can afford to throw $10+ on every single online service.

If anything, it might be doable if you could pay, say, $50 and distribute that between everything based on your usage. But then service providers don’t really want that either, they’d rather take all that just for themselves than share with others.

Yeah, I don’t think asking communities that are already fairly small on Reddit to create the same community on Lemmy was a good idea.

For something like this it’d be best to start with a single community for the whole broad topic (like, ImaginaryStuff). Hell, Reddit used to be a “single subreddit” originally. And the niche subreddits didn’t pop up until fairly recently where they were actually able to entice enough people to use them.

Also because the number of subscriptions that one sees is only from their instance

Huh is that actually a thing? That’s kinda dumb, but explains the tiny numbers I’ve seen a few times.

Not really; login mechanisms are a separate thing. OAuth already exists. You only need Fediverse software to accept OAuth from anywhere and to provide it to others.

The migration part is IMO harder, but not necessarily by much. I don’t know of any fediverse software that’d allow it though.

The fediverse really needs some kind of universal login and a way to easily migrate accounts between instances.
